Genetic Risk Assessment

Genetic Risk Assessment

Knowing your risk for breast cancer is the first step in empowering yourself
against the disease. When you have a mammogram at the Breast Center, you
can also receive a genetic risk assessment at no cost.

This assessment evaluates your personal and family risk factors for developing
breast cancer. Women who are at a higher-than-average risk of developing
the disease may be referred for a genetic consultation to determine if
genetic testing is needed to help them make informed health care decisions.
Our goal is to prevent breast cancer from occurring.

To participate in the genetic risk assessment, you will be asked to provide
information on your personal and family history of cancer.
